| Does anyone know which way the wire loom tubes go in? I can't find a good picture to help me. Also can you give me a measurement between the holes the loom goes through

Location: So. Cal | The flanged end of it goes into the body of the car, and the straight part goes into the door. The vertical distance between the holes is about 7.5", but you have them backwards from the way my '57 is setup. The higher hole is on the body and the lower hole is on the door, just above the lower door hinge. |

| Thanks for the info. Question, what is the approximate length of the tubes use on your are 9-1/2 tip to tip, about 9 from flange to tip. Bought mine from Gary Goers before Quincey took over.

Location: So. Cal | Mine is about 12" from the flange. It enters the door at about the 11" mark. |

| As mentioned above, I purchased the loom tubes from Gary Goers. They are approximately 9” long. The vertical distance between the hole in the body an d the hole in the door is too great for this length of tube. Even if the distance between the holes was less I am having trouble visualizing the flex and the movement of the tube in the upper hole. I would appreciate seeing photos of the tube in place if someone has a 56 with power windows.

| I thought I would add this note. In Gary Goers catalog the loom tubes shown for a 56 are not correct. The loom tubes for the 57 are the correct loom for a 56 2 door hardtop and I would suspect also go a 2 door post. Not sure on a 4 Door.
